Creativity question

[Reilly]

Very interesting question!
My son is musically gifted, many of his parts can draw and paint, knit and crochet and he can fix things with ease. I recall one of my son's younger parts putting together a bookcase for me (without the directions) that came with numerous pieces.
I think being creative is essential in dissociation. I have an additional question. Were any of you "encouraged" strongly to be creative? For example, I know that my son was taught and forced to draw. His creativity was used for the benefit of others and sadly used as a means to control him. Today, I tell him to draw or paint or create music for himself, simply for pleasure.
By the way, I can't draw, play an instrument, or knit. I appreciate his talents.
